I wrote this a year ago and it hit a nerve. It is still relevant today:

Each time I have sat down to write something I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...
We Are on Our Own
From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

I fear today we no longer have a democratic republic. We have the appearance of a democracy. Proof? Look at the issues that have +50% public support that Congress won’t act on. When big corporations and wealthy donors want something, Congress jumps.

Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents?

GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

I’m just going to say that anyone convicted of sexual abuse charges against anyone, especially a child, should NEVER be allowed to plead to lesser charges. EVER. And yet somehow they always allow them to. That’s absolutely abhorrent.

One of my favorite presents ever—my dad found and framed this pic of my mother @sunminkimes.bsky.social at a Seattle courthouse after she passed her US citizenship test in 1981. Like so many of the people who come here to start a new life, she is the best of us—the bravest, strongest person I know.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?”

“Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥

Tonight, my Uber driver said, “I never hear passengers say nice things about Donald Trump anymore. Several years ago, I would hear praise all the time. No more.”

Just one sign things may be changing.
